SPATTERINGS.

1.-THE" play is really over. OF
course this means the drama of "En-
gagged" produced by home talent. 1t
was worth seeing; for, though it
dragged now and then, still it per
mtted little or no time for surrepti,
tious yawns. Indeed, professional
agent pronounced it better done than
the amateur club of Chicago could
have produced it. Why shouldn't
Haley have a dramatic club? If
practise makes perfect, we have great
expectations. ["Spatterings" is mis-
taken. The performance canaot be

Dead Fish in the Rice Fields.
Savannah (Gs.) News.


On the upper rice-fields the water Is
again rising, the last floods having just
reached them. From such long INNER
break off when blown by the slightest
breeze. A large quantity Of them have
already fioated off, and the impression is
that all of the rice will suffer the same
fate. The water will probably rise to the
height of the former flood and do great
deal of damage to the embankments also.
Hutchinson island is III some danger, but
it is thought the flood can be stayed.
One remarkable feature reported is the
stencil arising. from the immense num-
Der of dead fish floating in the stagnant
waters of the overlooked fields. "A party
OF rice-bird hunters went over yesterday
through the Haskell plantation, and 9th
ers above, AND they were forced to retu1 n,
not being able to bear tAe fearful stencil
from the dead fish. They report that in
the corners of the fields, near the side di-
visions and entertainments, are thousands
of dead fish, comprising Dream, trout,
catfish, cells, perch and bass. The fish
were carried over, into the fields by the
high waters, and as the outside food sub
sided the imprisoned waters became stag
nant and the. fish were killed ia large
numbers. 1t is question whether Or no
this pestilent breeding cause, within half
mile Or so of the city, will not produce
fatal effects, for certainly if the matter is
now as bad as represented, it will increase
from the same cause for some time to
come.
